Statement earrings have been around for so very, very long, and my ears are ready for a break. This summer, I’m feeling the urge to regress – all the way back to stud earrings. Remember those? They’re perfect for warm weather, of course: no muss, no fuss, and no aching earlobes at the end of the night. And I don’t know about you, but when the temperature climbs, I’m spending 80% of my time with my hair in a ponytail, a situation in which those big dangly earrings simply will not do.
The trick, of course, is to keep it more edgy than twee, or you risk channeling your 8-year-old niece or your 80-year-old grandmother. I’ve been on a mad hunt for the perfect studs this summer, and I’ve found a few that hit my sartorial sweet spot (without breaking the bank).

Ooh! 1 and 11 are my favorites!
Kristina: aren’t those little turquoise studs dreamy? So good for summer!
These are great finds. I like the earrings number two and six because I only like something with a shiny stone and simple designs. I also like stud earrings because I am a little bit uncomfortable with dangling earrings especially if anyone will sleep while wearing their earrings. I do not have over sized blings so I guess I am more of the subtle type of earrings.
